Iâm not sure being aligned with the west means much while people are extremely critical in and outside western countries about racism.

Most westerners donât care about racism beyond its utility to attack something they already donât like. Same with homophobia. How much âtactical homophobiaâ did we just see against Lindsey Graham by people who probably think theyâre allies because they donât like a lot of people who are hostile to LGBT+?

Have you been anywhere? Racism is just a full on aspect of most places Iâve been west or not. Like anyone Asian whatsoever is just mchina or anyone white whatsoever from anywhere is mzungu and both get treated differently than wafrika. Same to locals, if youâre dealing with a hiring manager and you are in his tribe youâll likely get the job, if youâre a different ethnicity then probably not.
